The University of Texas System, established by the Texas Constitution in 1876, consisted of nine academic universities, six health institutions, and UT System administration in 2004. UT System institutions enrolled a total of 182,752 students in fall 2004 making it one of the largest systems of higher education in the nation.

Although each institution has its own unique mission, history, culture, goals, and objectives, all UT System campuses share an overarching mission to provide high-quality educational opportunities for the enhancement of the human resources of Texas, the nation, and the world. Enrollment at UT System academic institutions represents more than one-third of the total for Texas public universities. Fall 2004 enrollment figures show that more than one-third of UT System students are of Hispanic or African-American heritage.
